Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

scribe scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scribe: latent theme discovery

Find threads in the user's corpus that they did not realize they had already written. Scan every published post, return up to 3 candidate themes that connect at least 4 posts each, each with a one-sentence through-line and its source posts. The output is a proposal, never a draft.

Arguments: a time window (5y) or --tag <name> filter; default is the full corpus.

Workflow

1. Read the corpus

Get title, date, description, and tags for every post. Three paths, in preference order:

  1. mf posts list --json (primary): one Bash call returns the whole corpus as a JSON array with slug, title, date, description, tags (plus categories/series/featured/draft). Works from any directory (mf resolves the site root itself), and the scribe filters map natively:
    • /scribe 5y (time window): mf posts list --json --since <ISO date> (or months, e.g. 60m; the CLI accepts YYYY-MM-DD or 30d/4w/3m forms, not years)
    • /scribe --tag philosophy: mf posts list --json -t philosophy
    • Requires an mf build that includes description in the JSON (added 2026-06-09); if description is missing from the output, fall through.
    • First confirm mf --version prints mf, version .... TeX Live's /usr/bin/mf (Metafont) can shadow the metafunctor CLI; if that is what runs, or if the output is not a JSON array for any reason, fall through to the next path (and mention that uv tool install -e ~/github/repos/mf fixes it).
  2. crier_search (if the crier plugin is installed): crier_search(limit=1000) (the default limit is 50, and the corpus is past 250 posts; check that the count returned is below the limit).
  3. Glob fallback (fully self-contained): resolve the metafunctor site root from the MF_SITE_ROOT env var or the site_root key in ~/.config/mf/config.yaml, then Glob content/post/**/index.md and read the YAML front matter.

You only need title, date, description, and tags; do not read post bodies.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
